The present invention relates to a machine with av "xed winding framefor winiling cotton linen,. umie, und practicully all tcntilc threudsinto-cheeses, cops or the like.

Threadsjwhich are to be used for weaving,

usually come to the weaver in hunks, and

are rcwound by him into cops or cheeses for use in his loom. Thesecheeses or weft cops cannot generally be formed from the threads as theycome directly from the hanks for several reasons, of which the twoprincipal arefirst, that in order to form these cheeses or cops thethread ought to be under a nearly constant tension; second, that the"arrangement should permit of the thread being unwound rupidl y withoutinterruption. With rotating winding frames the first condition cannot berealized on account of the threads catching and the second con ditioncannot be realized since the winding mustbe'done slowly, and it wouldseem that two operations are necessary for constructing these cheeses orcops. the first co n-' sisting in ui'iwinding the bunks and winding thethread in auxiliary bobbin frames, the second in unwinding theseauxiliary bobbins and winding the thread on any kind of spool, such asordinary cylindrical spools, split cylinders of the kind known Alexanderbobbins or cop frames of other design.

The present invention provides :1 machine having-u fixed winding frame.and wherein the rupid unwinding of the banks and the winding of theunwound thread directly on any kind of bobbin orco-p frame under constant tension. may take place at one time.

The fixed winding frame allows the thread to be unwound without tension,since only the thread is in motion and the i'hrcad after being unwoundcan be carried to the bobbins for forming the checs s or to the machinefor forming the cops under a constant tension, which may have anysuitable value. The winding cuu take place at a h speed, since thethread is unwound .hout tension.

In the embodiment chosen for illustration,

bobbins with split-cylinders are shown as used for nmking the cheeses.

In the accompanying drawings -Figure l is a side View, and Fig. 2 is anend view of the machine; Fig. 3 is a view on an enlarged scale of afixed winding frame; Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views.

The fixed winding frames A. are mounted on the bearings C, through whicha spindle X, Y, Z passes carrying on one side a ring 1) and on the otherside a pulley F. The pulley is rotated by a cord F from a pulley G,-mounted on the shaft H. The thread I unwinds from a fixed frame A and atthe same time turns with the ring D and passes down through a centrallydisposed guiding eye J and thence to a bobbin frame provided with splitcylinders K. In Fig. 2 the fixed frame is shown in the usual octagonalform and the device L for stretching the thread is also illustrated.Loose pulleys E may l a or angcd beside driving pulleys E so thatmechanism may .be put out of operation. Upon a tapered part. Y, Z of thepulley spindle X, Y Z is arranged a socket R which is secured inposition on the spindle by means of a fastening nut S. To the socket Ris attached the web T of the revolving unwinding ring D. The foregoingparts, (pulley E, spindle X, Y, Z and ring 1)) are rotated together bymeans of the belt or cord l The bearing in which this spindle revolvesis formed in the windingframe holder B. A turned iron rod fixed upon theframe-work of the machine is fitted into the bore 0 of the windingframe-holder and the latter is provided with 21 depending part Q, whichbears laterally on a guide rod M and prevents the frame-work B fromturning. The winding frmue-holder B sliding on the rod t) and guide rodM together with the spindle winding frame and unwinding ring I) caneasily be taken .iii' and set again into position.

The winding frame A remains at rest while the bank thread is unwound,instead of being turned by the unwinding of the. thread as in unwindingmachines used heretofore, but. it should preferably be arranged -so thatit can be rotated for the pl'lrpose of locating the end of the hankthreads thereon, as when a thread breaks. For this purpose the windingframe-holder B has a cvlindricul exterior and curries the hub of the 1winding frame thereon. The windingframe remains at rest while the threadis ung 1,05e,see

wound, but by taking hold of the Winding mounted, said frame beingnormally staf'ame it can be revolved on the holder .B.

The machine is shown as provided with three Winding frames, butobviously any desired number can he used.

hat is claimed is 1. In a machine of the character described, thecombination of a hank-frame, a support for said frame, comprising around bar, a sleeve upon Which said frame ismounted, said frame beingnormally stationary thereon but adapted to be manually rotated, saidsleeve being slidable on said bar to move said frame into and out ofplace in the machine, an arm on said sleeve and a bar against Which'saidarm rests to prevent rotation of said sleeve on said round bar, a rotaryspindle in said sleeve, a dish upon said spindle for unwinding threadsfrom said frame, and means for winding, the unwound thread.

2. In a machine of the character de scribed, the combination of ahank-frame, a support for said frame, comprising a round bar, a sleeveupon which said frame is tionary thereon hut adapted to be manuallyrotated, said sleeve being slidable on said bar to move said frame intoand out of place in the machine, an arm on said sleeve and a bar againstwhich said arm rests to prevent rotation of s id sleeve on said roundbar, a rotary spindle. in said sleeve, a dish upon said spindle forunwinding threads from said frame, and means for Winding the tin Woundthread, said means comprising a split winding drum for inding theunwound thread in the form of cheeses, and tension means intermediatesaid unwinding means and Winding drum, whereby said thread may heremoved at hio'h speed and under constant tension.

in witness whereof, K have hereunto signed my name in the presence oftwo snlr scribing Witnesses.
